Improving on the standards of polygraph training and the
materials used in lie-detection training
nationwide!

NOTE:before you get to the 78-page
Table Of Contents below,you will find nearly thirty pages of information
that many traditionalpolygraph schools and organizations (that the schools
PUSH you to join)do NOT want you to know, as it
exposes their faults,mistakes, and in some cases: their fraudulent
activity.(shared with you to help you decide this:do I need
someone to read to me all day,or can I learn at my own
pace?!)

It is sad that some of the information
below needs to be posted.However, as traditional polygraph schools and
associations will tryto insist that you can only learn about polygraph from
one of theirown member sources, you need to see the 'real
picture'!

Updated for 2009:

Learn why Federal polygraph examiners are said to be the best:

This
updated version now also includes many 'tips', 'notes', 'variations', and
training materials recently or currently being used & taught at
DACA(Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment),the
US Government's 10-week polygraph school)on many different
lie-detection topics.

Our staff recently spent a month reviewing all
materials,notes, and hand-outs of the modern Federal polygraphprogram,
and we updated our materials with that knowledge!

DACA is where FBI &
CIA polygraphers, military polygraphers, and about 20 other Federal
agenciesget all of their polygraph training.

Greatly differing from
that taught by privatepolygraph academies, DACA also oversees
extensivereasearch designed to improve the accuracy ofpolygraph
examination results. New techniquesand data developed here seems to
sometimes never'trickle down' to the civilian polygraph
academies!

Learn what Federal examiners know:at no additional cost to
you,this 2009 package includes more than a dozen trainingmaterial sets
issued by the Federal polygraph academy!

For
example:Materials from some schools still tell that certain
breathingpatterns indicate LYING, while newest DACA research showsthat
those same breathing patterns do NOT indicate deception.

OUCH- this could be causing some examinees to be falsely
failed!

(note: until recently, DACA was known as
'DoD-PI',Department of Defense Polygraph Institute)- -

Lie-Detection work isan excellent avocational situation:"av·o·ca·tion (av'O-kAshun); noun:An activity taken up in
addition toone's regular work or profession".Most
lie-detection is done by examinersaround their regular occupation or
income!

For both conventional (analog) and
computerized polygraph instruments.

Includes
the current trends, techniques, and specialtiesof private and government
polygraph examiners nationwide.

Is the actual 50-pound package used by somepolygraph classes as their
complete foundation.

NOTE: new pages and/or
improvements are added EVERY week!

For 2009: included, at no extra charge:more than a dozen different
government-agencypolygraph training material
volumes!

Includes interviews and
past technical inputfrom every polygraph manufacturer!

Written and compiled by a polygraph instructor/examinerwho has
current (2007/2008 models) computerized polygraphinstruments from ALL FOUR
polygraph manufacturers,and several analog instruments from BOTH
manufacturers!

We are NOT a 'school' or a
'diploma mill';you are learning directly from polygraphexaminers who
have actually earned a livingin the private practice of this
profession.

8 X 10 color photographs printed on
high-resolution photo-paper stock.Many full-color 'screenshots', as if the
polygraph was right in front of you.

Follow this comprehensive
package with practiceand continuing education to become a competent
examiner(this is what all polygraph training sources say!).Read
and re-read the material; if you retainwhat is provided, you are
well-prepared.

So thorough and well-rounded that a
troubled California polygraphacademy recently secretly obtained a package
via a 'decoy' purchase!

Which of the four brands of computerized polygraph
instrumentsis the one to buy?! This package give you an advance-look
atall of them, so you can be knowledgeable BEFORE you invest.

Learn about financing a computerized polygraph instrument;we know the
best (and worst) brands and the best deals!

"My partner and I
purchased the "Polygraph Academy In A Box"and found it to be what we
expected and more. We were promised very extensive set of study materials
and that is exactly whatwe recieved. Also we would like to thank many PEOA
members forall the profession support via the many telephone
conversations,email correspondence, and in person study time given to
us.

We were told we could call anytime for help, and we have done so
without any problems whatsoever. To our complete satisfaction you have
provided us with what we were guaranteed beforepurchasing the package. We
feel completely competent with ourknowledge and practical application of the
Polygraph instrumentand the testing process. I would recommend this package
to anyonewho wants to learn the polygraph instrument, the testing
process,and how to make a living in the polygraph business.

We
purposely chose not to go to a vocational school offeringpolygraph
training, because we wanted to learn this trade from someonewho actually
earns a living with his polygraph, and not in aclassroom. We are former law
enforcement officers who wanted to add polygraph services to our Private
Investigations firm, and we have nowdone so. Thank you again for
all.".

Some schools secretly
get a $1000 commission each time a student buysa certain brand of
polygraph instrument, so they will not be introducingyou to the other
brands! Some might just 'shame' or 'push' a student intoreturning his/her
new and perfectly-good computerized instrumentand then to buy one that the
school gets that large commission on.

Had the
school continued on the abbreviated schedule,the course would have been
approximately 100 hours short.

After a thorough
investigation, this chairman of theEducational Accreditation Committee makes
the following findings:

First:XXXXXXX
Polygraph Academy is in clear violation ofXXX
accreditation regulations governing accuratelyscheduling and reporting
school training schedule.All records indicate the school was startingat
08:00AM and ending daily at 5:00 PM.These records do not
accurately reflect the school’s training schedule.

Secondly:XXXXXXX Polygraph Academy is in
clear violation ofXXX accredited training attendance requirements in
that the studentswere not receiving required time limits of
for basic polygraph course instruction.

Third:Most seriously, this inspector finds that
theprinted syllabus clearly misrepresents the actual
scheduleto the detriment of the students and professional
training,this inspector believes that a fraud
has been perpetuated on thoserelying on the accuracy of the school’s
records and representations.

Fourth:Regarding the
statement alleged to have been made bypersonnel associated with the XXXXXXX
Polygraph Academy,“if you don’t tell (XXX), we won’t either”.In a frank
discussion with PI XXXXX,he states that through some discussion with the
students,a statement in some way similar to the one above may have been
made but according to him,it was not meant in context as it now sounds out
of context.This inspector finds that in or out of context,the statement
was inappropriate if it in any way it referred to XXX oversight
authority."

"It is apparent that
you put a lot of thoughtand time into its development. Thank you.I would
certainly recommend this product foranyone starting out in the Polygraph
Industry.And an experienced examiner could benefit too,with the great
deal of information on the businessaspects of polygraphy. The extensive
operationalinfo you have on all the polygraph manufacturerswill allow an
experienced examiner to switchinstruments in an emergency. You have
includedall of the Computerized Scoring Systems andtheir operational
protocols; I hope that you passmy thoughts on to students and other
examiners".

Learn how you can have a new computerizedpolygraph
instrument in your hands in 24 hours!

Developed with many
years of research;continually improved;also includes topics that many
polygraph schools lack.

We know of schools/trainers that CHANGED their
curriculumafter reading the 78-page index (table of contents)
below!

We have copies of their OLD websites, etc, and can show the
dates they were changed!

Fall 2008:a
polygraph academy owner is under investigation at the same timeby the
Federal government, his state government, his county law enforcement agency,
and his city police department,all for different crime
accusations!

Not all polygraph schools are
equal:

Recently, we completely reviewed a setof every hand-out,
guide, study-sheet, notes, etc,--virtually the complete & entire
curriculum--from a recent class of a respected full-term 'approved by an
association' polygraph academy;OUCH- the quality
was terrible.

Other than pieces provided by visitors or 'guest
instructors',it was mostly hundreds of pages of dull, black-on-white
photocopies,many off-centered and/or originally printed using
anoutdated typewriter instead of modern fonts and printers.Hard to read;
tiny print; boring and 'hard on the eyes'.Some were dated more than 25 years
ago.And NOTHING regarding the 'business end' of polygraphy.

The
depressing lack of color and/or photographs made for a far-less enjoyable
learning situation, and is far-less likelyto ever be seriously re-read in
the future. We learn 'visually', and thosematerials were sub-standard for a
modern learning environment.

Poor materials make for useless later
review;perhaps this is why so many of their students needto later pay
this school for a 'refresher course'.

" I learned more from
this package than I did bymy spending 8 weeks at a $5000 polygraph
academy.With what I know now, all thanks to this package,I wasted 8
weeks of my life and was ripped off by attendingthat academy. Your
description (these pages) really is accurate."

1) Learn by your own study and
practice, with no guidance.the good- low financial
cost.the bad- your hundreds of hours of Internet
searchingand book-buying might only scratch the surface.

2)
'Preceptor': learning while working under a polygraph examiner.the
good- it is 'fun'.the bad- unless it is with a
long-experienced,high-volume examiner, you will never learn
enough.

3) Attending an 8-to-10-week school.the good-
structured.the bad- see the many secrets revealed on these
pages.

4) Learn at your own pace, at home or office, with
PolygraphAcademy.com.the good- learn polygraph basics,
business, and advanced.the bad- none!

unbiaseddata regarding the use of, and purchase from, the

The 'Phonies & Hypocrites Club':

Although their
website claims'. . education of the polygraph community . . ',the truth
was shown when a small polygraphorganization recently offered a 2-day
training seminar.

The state in which this group is based,which is
also where the seminar was held,has about a half-dozen polygraph training
schools.Graduates of all of these schools are serving the public
today.

Only graduates of two of those six polygraph schools were
allowed to attendthe 2-day seminar; graduates from the other schools were
not allowed.

Not exactly a 'brotherhood' or 'dedication to improving the
profession'!

If the group had its own telephone number,(it doesn't;
it is far too small and inactive to need one)perhaps we could call them and
help them correct the error.

Note: this same group 'Certifies' its
members as long asthey attend just 12 hours of polygraph education per
year--BUT it requires that these 12 hours include attending (and paying
for)this group's own yearly 2-day seminar: or no
'Certification'!

Such self-serving requirements are shameful,but
the group would be forgotten without them.

Are you a government polygraph examiner,and want to
retire and start a private polygraph practice?Other polygraphers in your
area do not want you(you are competing for the same clients they
are),so they will not be of much help;we can help make the transition
smoother:--needed techniques you are not aware of--'secrets' to getting
government contracts--how to get clients--samples of private-sector exam
reports--payment issues--overcoming the many headaches of dealing with
the public--low-cost advertising methods that produce results--and much
more!

Another lie-detection school telling
lies:One 'NOT approved by a polygraph organization' schoolcontinually
tells potential students that "We can sponsoryou to join that association"
when they know that theirgraduates are continually denied
membership!

Posted recently on a
polygraph discussion group:

"We knew this is how XXX (now often called
the 'Amateur PolygraphAssociation' because of the continual fiascos)
would be handling it. Instead of finishing this with professionalism, XXX
would lose thousands ofdollars this year if they removed their approval of
this school thus losingfuture XXX member dues from XXXXXX students, so no
punishment.

XXX has been increasingly worthless for over a decade
now.Their 'approved schools' are often of lesser-quality thanschools
who choose not to involve XXX."

The 1980s were long ago;so why do most polygraph
schoolsstill teach the same as then?

Are you planning to attend a polygraph academy soon?This package
will put you WAY ahead of the other students!Or, already graduated? See
the 78-page index(table of contents) below to see what you didn't
learn!

Why were two polygraph academies
recently ordered torefund THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to their
students?!

Includes many 'tips', 'tricks', and
special advicethat even most long-time polygraphers--and polygraph
'instructors'-- don't know!

Extensively personalized with your name,
inside and out;a large and attractive addition to a professional
office!

From a published report in a legal magazine, written by
a polygraph examiner with 40 years experience,who taught at the US
Government polygraph academy and who nowworks with polygraph licensing
bureaus and polygraph schools(and he has been a full-member of (XXX) for more than 30 years):

"The XXXXXXX Polygraph Association (XXX) in all appearance should bethe watchdog of the
industry, but it is no more than a trade associationwith minimal
standards as to what a polygraph school should teach.The XXX scratches the surface with school inspections and student
review.As a matter of fact, the XXXwas
denied authority by the Department ofEducation for academically
accrediting polygraph schools, therefore,

the XXX possesses little or no authority
toendorse a post-secondary educational
institution".

Are these two
really 'polygraph academies'?!:In the last year,one held 2 very small
classes the whole year;the other had only 2 students the whole
year!That's not what their websites say!

Why have so many polygraph 'instructors' NEVERoperated a
successful polygraph agency of their own?!If they never supported
their family by obtaining and satisyingpolygraph clients, how in the world
can they teach someone else to?!The truth is, almost every polygraph
examiner you will evermeet has NOT ever paid his/her bills with a 'polygraph
business':instead, he/she either has a 'real' job, a pension, or a working
spouse!Why? The work IS there and available-- you just need to direct it to
YOU.

Can send the 50-pound package in one
delivery--or can send in four logically-timed
deliveries!

Here's a scary fact: most
examiners who claim to be 'Certified' get& keep that title through one
small group that requires only that everyyear they have 12 hours of
education, WITH NO TEST GIVEN;

Yes, that's only one hour per
month, with no testing or scoring,in a high-tech profession that has
continual changes & improvements!

Sadly, in an attempt to improve
the quality of examiners, onenationwide polygraph organization has suggested
raising it to 15!

If Required Continuing Education is a primary
difference betweena 'trade' and a 'profession', then these numbers are a
disgrace.

Experienced, and want to do
contract work for law-enforcement agencies?All typical form letters, tips,
and questionaires used forpre-employment testing are included; no need to
'reinvent the wheel'!Many documents and instructions are from major
law-enforcement agencies.In fact, this section has doubled in size since
the last major update.

Listen to what professionals say about this
package:"After nearly 20 years of
Military Intelligence as analyst,law enforcement, criminal & insurance
fraud investigations, as well as a criminal justice and psychology
background, . . .. . . .I studied the available curriculum at 'so-called
expert' polygraph schools,and realized that their curriculum content was
somewhat weak. . ..

I found PolygraphAcademy.com.Needless to say,
there was literally no comparison in curriculum,personal instruction,
training, and of course the cost.The depth and level of knowledge, including
both militaryand federal polygraph techniques was second to none.As
such, I jumped on it. Taking the knowledge from PolygraphAcademy.com
afforded me the opportunity to start generating an income much sooner,as
well as affording me the ability to obtain the instrument.After the
learning, I realized you're not just 'thrown to the wolves'but can remain in
a professional relationship with John Grogan,who has more experience in this
industry than most examinersand has always made himself readily available to
myself.

Clearly, anyone learning from the comprehensive package will
enter the polygraphprofession more knowledgeable, better trained and
prepared than by any school. Period.Needless to say, I obviously and highly
recommend PolygraphAcademy.comto anyone desiring to get into this lucrative
and honorable career field".

Examiners are ethically required to not
participate in any examthat they have either an interest in or a
conflict-of-interest in.

During discovery in a civil trial, it was
learned that the polygraph testingused in the defense of the management
personnel being sued was conducted by an examiner who was the cousin of the
management personnel tested.

Despite the report saying that management
was truthful,the hidden-but-discovered relationship killed all
credibility.

The other side used a polygraph examiner with no improper
relationship.

The other side won.

NOTE: The offending examiner
had graduated from an'approved by an association' polygraph school a year
before.

Not all polygraph
schools are equal:

A sad 'secret'-

Many good polygraph examiners
write terrible reports.

As a director who approves examiners to
receive referralsfor polygraph examinations from the nationwide
polygraphreferral network Polygraph Examiners Of
America(www.peoa.US), I am required to review a sample reportfrom
every member before they can receive a referral.

Some excellent examiners
are found to be producing afinal work product, their written report, that is
so poorthat it lessens the value of their work. These reports,read later
by other persons, do not reflect the skill ofthe examiner. Instead, some
wrongly look like amateurs.

Interviewing many polygraph
academygraduates revealed a common statement:"In school, we didn't spend
much time on writing reports".And some schools spent NO time on report
writing!

When a completed examination is later being discussed,you
are not there: your report is standing there for you.A crummy report
could mean that your client wasted the money.

Included in this 50-pounder
are enough sample reports toassist any examiner in writing respectable
examination reports.

Update Fall 2008:This week, another
recent graduate of an 'association approved'polygraph academy advised "I
have a client now and I need a reportsample-- the $5000 8-week school I just
graduated from did absolutelyno mentioning of how to do a report, not even
giving us a single sample".More proof that some polygraph academy owners
know this sad truth:most $5000 graduates will NEVER have a real polygraph
business after finishing.

- - - - - -

Most pages
inserted in clear plastic sleeves.This comprehensive package is
hand-assembled as 'heavy-duty'(a slow method of production, but allowing the
best in quality!)as can possibly be, as to allow years of
review.

Like having a 'best friend' in the polygraph
business whowill share ALL of the industry information with
you!

" I wanted to thank you
for putting togethersuch a comprehensive training program for the polygraph.
I conductedalmost 20 examinations within the first weeks of receiving the
giantAcademy in a Box. With all the guidance and support available
fromPEOA members on a daily basis, I have actually secured a
weeklypolygraph interview spot on a popular radio station in the Bay Area".

Nearly 15 pounds heavierthan the last major update(we don't
waste resources, so imagine howmuch information is contained in
thatextra fifteen pounds of material; the new index(table of contents)
alone is 20 pages longer!)

Far better than it's 'approved by a
polygraph organization' competitor!

Yet, it still could be greatly
improved,and NOTHING about operating a polygraph BUSINESS.

(To be
fair, most schools are NOT going to teach any polygraph 'business';they are
there to prepare you to work FOR a polygraph examiner).

We buy the teaching materials frompolygraph schools that went
out of business.Sometimes we trade such items with operating
schools.Usually, they are outdated or worth little;if we find a 'gem',
we include it for you!

Learn why one brand of
computerized polygraph instrumentis such a better choice to buy than all of
the others.

Included are ‘scripts’ for using
the common polygraphexamination techniques, and step-by-step initial
instructionsfor all FOUR different computerized polygraph

Listen to what professionals say about
PolygraphAcademy.com:

"As a
Private Investigator for over 11 years you have a tendency to besomewhat
suspicious of people. I saw PolygraphAcademy.com's polygraph packageon the
Internet and it seemed too good to be true. After mulling this purchaseover
for weeks and speaking to John Grogan several times on the phone,I purchased
the 40+ pound Polygraph package. I was extremely impressed withthe content
of the package. This is without a doubt the most comprehensivepolygraph
training program in America. The materials are an exhaustivereference for
anything involved with the polygraph business, from history,marketing,
techniques, protocol, to the various polygraph instruments onthe market. I
was assisted with the secrets on deciding which polygraphinstrument to
purchase and I received a large discount on a computerizedpolygraph
instrument just for learning via this extensive program.

I also attended
a www.PEOA.us workshop which I found to be informative,educational and
entertaining. The fellow attendees were a wealth ofquestions and information
that you could only attain at a Grogan-led workshop.

I would highly
recommend this programto anyone looking to get into the polygraph
business".

Just wondering what the
difference is:Why would a polygraph organization'approve' a 2-week
course in South America,but require FOUR-TIMES that when it is done in the
US?!

Perhaps why the website of a
'bigger' old polygraph organizationhad its 'Contact A Member' section down
the first half of 2007:

1) While that group had been claiming to have
nearly3000 members, it was revealed by counting each memberin that
portion of the website, state-by-state, every state,that it added up to
be far closer to 500!Where are all the others?!

2) Nearly 1/3 of
the contact e-mail addresses were not valid!

Removing the 'Contact A
Member' section of their website haslikely cost their dues-paying members
many paid examinations.

Update 5/2008:this
section of the websitehas been back up for about a year:a fresh count
adds up to about 800,including from all countries worldwide
andfrom both private and government,and including full and associate
members!Again: where are all the other 'thousands of members'?!

It
is sad to see these 'figures' about their membership.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Listen to what professionals say about
PolygraphAcademy.com:

"If you
want to become a trained Polygraph Examiner sooner than all thestudents at
the distant academies, get the extensive "Polygraph Academy in a
Box".

Honestly, I looked into several training programs that were very
expensiveand took several months to complete. None had all the coverage I
was looking for.Instead, I went with the PolygraphAcademy.com package-- it
was exhaustivelythorough and very detailed. It is the kind of materials that
teach you allthat you need to know in order to be a competent examiner,
quicklyand completely, without wasting your time in long class sessions
where theyspend much of their time on non-essential time-wasting
matters.

Another reason to jump on this package is that you can do it on
yourown time and with the convenience and privacy of studying in your own
home".

Restricted Availability: also discussed are various
'countermeasures',methods used to attempt to falsely pass a polygraph
examination.This includes the two nearly undetectable methods, which if
notspotted could allow a lying person to be scored as
truthful(undercover government agents know these two secret
techniques,to try if being polygraphed by those who they have
infiltrated;some sex criminals share them with each other while in
prison).

Why did the top polygraph examiner in a
major police department'spolygraph unit get demoted and lose his supervisor
position?Complaints from examinees and from his own
employees!

- - - - -

Not all polygraph schools are equal:

Many
polygraph academy graduates do not knowanything about 'countermeasures'
because their 'instructor'told them that there is "no such thing as a
countermeasure-there are no ways to even try to alter a polygraph's
results".He teaches this despite the strong industry training
andseminars teaching the many cheat-methods being
used.

Not all
polygraph schools are equal:

Recently, complaints to a state
school-licensingbureau about another high-volume polygraphacademy
produced yells of 'Fraud!'.

This school had been
advertising that they were providingstudents with even more hours of
training than a polygraph organization'srecommended guideline polygraph
training hours.

This school had submitted a very specific curriculum
ofpolygraph training to the state, including exactly how manyhours would
be spent on each topic. The state approved thispolygraph class, 'to be
taught AS SUBMITTED & APPROVED'.

Instead, it was alleged that:--
most classroom materials used were VERY poor ---- there were giving less
than 1/3 the promised hours ---- a past instructor had been told by the
school owner:"Don't teach them so much, or they will become our competitors"
---- most 'graduates' there never again touched a polygraph ---- the
current 'instructor' had little real-world polygraph experience ----a past
guest-instructor had been told by the school owner:"Even though the students
were only here for a few hours,write 8am to 5pm next to each of their names"
(he refused)---- school staff openly slandered competitors and past students
--

As most students there were injured in their past jobs,and
attended here only due to the recommendation of theirWorkers Compensation
Vocational Rehabilitation counselors,many students --and insurance
companies-- were 'ripped off'.

A polygraph organization publicly
criticized the school owner,about the lack of hours, in the polygraph
organization's publication.

satisfied.I found that not only did it include any type of polygraph
scenario possible, but also itoffered "real world" knowledge,

am also continually pleasedwith the expediency of the PEOA referral service.
It really take the time to send me the referralsas quickly as I request
them. I also find PEOAa valuable resource when need to ask aboutissues

Not all polygraph schools are equal:

Recently, we completely
reviewed a setof every hand-out, guide, study-sheet, notes,
etc,--virtually the complete & entire curriculum--from a recent
class of DACA(Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment),the Federal
government polygraph academy previouslyknown as DoD-PI (Department of
Defense Polygraph Institute).Very good - orderly
and well-researched. But 'dry'.No photographs. No
color; all black and white photocopies.

And it is based on the type of
exams conducted by governmentexaminers-- where in most situations, the
examinee is requiredto submit to the exam. So, the DACA materials are
excellent forthat, but are lacking in training for the many variables
encounteredin private-sector exams (and of course, no polygraph 'business'
materials).

Note: many tidbits of updated research & technique
information wereobtained during this review, and they have been added to
this 2009 version!

- - - - - -

Two more polygraph academies went out of business recently,both
in areas where there is a shortage of private polygraph examiners.Perhaps if
their past students had received better materials, ? ? ?
?

Fall 2008: a graduated(?) student
working at an 'association approved'polygraph academy & agency does such
poor work that he almost destroysan examinee's life! A businessman, wanting
to clear up his wife's suspicion of infidelity, suggests that he undergo a
polygraph exam.

Unbeknownst to the businessman, the agency assigns him to
a recent studentwith little experience. After FUMBLING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR to
get thecomputer polygraph instrument ready (obviously he didn't have the
well-refinedand easy to follow step-by-step how-to sheets from
PolygraphAcademy.com!), theexaminer used such (later determined by
experienced examiners) poor questionchoices that the businessman falsely
failed his exam!

Lucky for him, his wife allowed him to be re-tested
professionally,and he easily passed.

Don't we need to trust those'approving' the polygraph
school?:When one school was undergoing their 'approval visit',they
tell that they were told to"Get rid of Instructor XXXXX; he does not meet
our standards;I can't approve you until you do".But months later,
Instructor XXXXX starts his own school,and he is approved by the same
person!

Learn how you can have a new computerizedpolygraph
instrument in your hands in 24 hours!

Listen to what professionals say about
PolygraphAcademy.com:

"The Polygraph Training
Guide is one of the most informative and completecurriculums that I have
been able to find on polygraph examining.It is easy to read and understand
with a lot of real world experience put into it.For the amount of
information and years of experience compiled into one package,I can
genuinely say that this training guide is well worth the
purchase".

Trying to 'fluff up' the 'hours of teaching',some schools
advertise that their scheduleincludes TEN to FIFTEEN hourson 'History
of Lie-Detection'.Do you think that you that you will be a better
polygraph examiner by knowing how the ancient Indiansor the Salem Witch
Trials did lie-detection?!!!

The 2 most common
compaints made to schoollicensing boards about polygraph academies:1.
Many less class-room hours than per catalog (if you attend one, keep a
log:they can be ordered to give you back a % of your $!)2. No 'jobs'
that were implied by their staff(when being 'sold' on the school, they
either offer 'placement'or tell you that gov't agencies will be looking to
hire you!)

- - - - - -

Not all
polygraph schools are equal:(Two similar examples-- see what the sad common
denominator is!)

1) Recently, a person was ready
to sign up to attenda 'respected' polygraph academy in a major city, one
that is'approved by a polygraph organization'. He had cash ready.

But
the school's 'intake person' told him that "there is no workavailable for
private polygraph examiners, so unless a policedepartment is ready to send
you to this school, just forget it".

This is in a state with a
shortage of private examiners!

2) Students at
another school in the same major city area wereoften told: "There is no work
for private examiners; get agovernment agency to hire you, as the public is
not a source of work",

The sad common denominator:Both schools are
owned by private examiners who havegood business income from the public, and
they don'twant their own students taking away their
business!

- - - - - -

Many good polygraphers have only little business:they
are well-skilled, but are lacking in 'marketing savvy'.Included in this
package are samples of PROVENmarketing tools- relatively inexpensive yet
effective!

Earning 'extra credit' at a
polygraph school?!OUCH! Complaints to the school licensing boardabout a
polygraph academy where the instructor asks women students to meet him after
school in the motel room across the street from the school(where he
stays during the school week).He even asked them to bring their own
liquor!

Would you like to be taught by a 'guest
instructor'who smokes marijuana during class-room breaks?!

- - - - - -

Learn which 5 little
parts get lost or brokenthe most often, so you can keep spares with
you.(Have these backup parts with your instrument;these are
all very low-priced, yet could keepyou from working until a replacement
arrived)

- - - - - -

Not all
polygraph schools are equal:

Regarding the instructor at an 'approved by
a polygraph organization' school:

Has he been approved to be an
instructor by either that samepolygraph organization OR by the state school
licensing board?!

- - - - - -

Also learn about PCSOT Examinations(Post-Conviction Sexual
Offender Testing),the most popular polygraph continuing-education
choice.

There are about 40 states that require sex offenders to
submit to polygraph testing!

Includes some of the knowledge gained
from attendingthree 40-hour 'approved by a polygraph organization'PCSOT
seminars and from years of actuallyconducting real PCSOT
examinations.

Could it be that many reviews completedby graduating students
contained complaintsthat the old instructor continually boasted,actually
sometimes many times every day,that he himself was the best examiner
anywhere while often including insults about his
competitors?!

- - - - - -

Injured,
and thinking about learning polygraph?One polygraph academy was said to have
beenturned down for 'approval by a polygraph organization'because of
their 'accepting re-hab students'.Not exactly
ADA-compliant!

Sleazy behavior by a
couple of polygraph academy owners:

Some instrument manufacturers sell
complete new polygraph instrumentpackages to schools for only about
$1500, with the promise by theschools to NEVER sell them; they are
super-discounted only to be used atthe school, in hopes that students will
like that brand and then orderthem for the full regular price of $6000 for
the same package.

Well, some schools have ordered several at about $1500
each,then re-sold some or all of these school instruments to
theirstudents at prices from $3000 to $5000. Unsuspecting studentsdon't
know, until a warranty repair or an upgrade is needed.

Note: some schools
are authorized sellers of instruments,making a $1000 or more commission on
each sale, whichexplains why they push a lesser brand than the
best.

Don't count on the class dates listed
on a school's website:many schools quietly 'skip' scheduled class dates,
entire 8 or 9 week blocks,when there were not enough students to 'make
it worth it';this often happens AFTER you have paid and havearranged to
be off work for those entire months!One 'approved' school, listed a calendar
last yearthat 'showed' back-to-back classes the entire year:but really
only 2 of those scheduled classes ever were held!

Why does one
polygraph 'instructor' lie tothe excited new students at the 'approved
bya polygraph organization' school he teaches for,telling them "I charge
$2000 for a polygraph exam"?The truth: he really charges 1/5 of that:
$400!It is improper to lie to students, giving those students
unreasonable expectations about possible future
earnings.

- - - - - -

Not all
polygraph schools are equal:

Another example of FRAUD when itcomes to
advertised hours of training;BUT this time, it is to deceive the very
'polygraph organization'who granted them 'Approved by a polygraph
organization' status!

This school is advertising that they are providing
thestudents with the hours of training per the organization'srecommended
guideline polygraph training hours.

Admitting to the students that it
would be less hours per daythan the posted schedule, they actually told the
students:"We won't tell (that polygraph organization) if you
don't"!

- - - - - -

The 5 most
common lies told bypolygraph examiners to prospective clients:

1) "I
use a computerized polygraph".(said by some who only have old
analogs)

2) "The exam will take X hours".(Many examiners say double
the time it will really take)

3) "I am a Dr./PhD".(There are several
who have diploma-mill titles)

4) "I've done XXXX polygraph
exams".(One was embarrassed in court when found lying)

5) "I've done
polygraphs for XX years".(a timeline shows the lies)

A proper
training foundation is better than having to lie.

Hundreds of dollars/hours of continuing
educationevery year are used to continually improve this
package!

Also improved for the 2009
edition:every section and page listed in the giant index (table of
contents)has been reviewed by a series of polygraph examiners,below new
and old, for suggested improvements and updating.Those modifications have
all been included!

- - - - - -

Not all polygraph
schools are equal:

Why was one 'respected' polygraph academyrecently
quietly for sale for years;unsold for years, what event made it'svalue
suddenly become far, far less?!

Update: it finally sold, recently, to the
instructor there!

- - - - - -

Also learn about the extensive use of polygraph examinationsat
sporting events (bodybuilding tournaments, races, fishing, cycling,and many
others). Why polygraph has replaced drug testing and more!

Why are most graduates of 8-week polygraph academies,one year
after graduating, NOT in the polygraph business?!

Instead of just 'theory', learn from those with years of 'applied
use' oflie-detection: learn from the real-world successes -and
mistakes- of others!

- - - - - -

Not all polygraph schools are equal:

Insist on
HONESTY- ask any school for an exact and detailed list of all
materials you will be receiving for your$5000 payment. Then ask to
review a set before you pay!

And not a 'Here's what we'll be
talking about' list;you want a list of the printed handouts and
materials.

Or ask to see every piece FIRST-then put it them on a
scale and see how muchless material they are providing thanwhat is in
this 50-pound package!

Our 'cards are on the table': our list is
below(and at about 10% of what the alternative would
cost!)

- - - - - -

Includes past input, technical support, and datafrom all four
polygraph manufacturers!

Pirate alert! Last year, a less-than-honest
fellowdecided to try to sell photocopies of an older version of
thiscopyrighted material to the public. He (and his buyers) ended up
payingmore in fines and legal expenses than this fellow had earned in
theprevious two years. And it was an older, smaller
version!
